Darkness Possesses Town of ‘Wake Wood’

After Let Me In, it’s truly hard not to get excited for a new Hammer production. This year we’ll see not only the release of The Resident, but also Wake Wood (trailer), David Keating’s pic that received high praises out of last November’s AFM in Santa Monica, CA. North American rights recently acquired by Chicago-based MPI Media Group. Dark Sky plans a theatrical release in spring 2011, followed by DVD and VOD.

Inside you’ll find a slew of new images for the thriller that “follows a couple whose new neighbors in a remote rural community introduce them to a pagan ritual to attempt to bring back their dead daughter.” The film was shot in Ireland. Aidan Gillen, Eva Birthistle, Timothy Spall and Ella Connolly star.
